What a Slovenian residence permit gives you

EU rights, safety for your family and a clear path to legal status

🛂

Legal status in the EU

Free movement within the Schengen area without a visa and clear rules for crossing borders.

🛡️

A safe environment

Slovenia is one of the calmest countries in Europe: a low crime rate and a comfortable urban environment for families.

🌤️

Climate and nature

From a mild coastline to Alpine peaks — several climate zones in a compact country.

📍

A convenient location

An hour or two from Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia — a handy base for living and travelling around Europe.

⚖️

Mariia Golubnik — migration lawyer in Slovenia

“It all started with my own move to Slovenia with my family more than 7 years ago. Going through the process myself, I came to understand migration procedures, document requirements and how Slovenian authorities actually work in practice.

A legal education and experience working with legislation let me analyse every situation in detail and build a lawful relocation strategy. I have established working relationships with government bodies, educational institutions, banks and court-certified translators in Slovenia.”

Why Slovenia

The simplest and most affordable route into the EU

Unlike the residence programmes of Spain or France, which require tens of thousands of euros in the bank and high bureaucratic barriers, Slovenia offers flexible, clear conditions — especially for business, study and family reunification.

Obtaining a residence permit and relocating costs noticeably less than in Germany, Italy or Austria: company registration, renting a home and taxes are all more affordable.

After 5 years of residence on a permit you can obtain permanent residence, and then Slovenian citizenship: the path is clear and one of the most transparent in the EU.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I start the process of getting a residence permit? +
During the free consultation we look at your situation and decide together on the best route: it determines the list of documents, the timeline and what becomes possible once you have the permit.
How long does it take to get a residence permit? +
On average 2 to 4 months from the date the documents are filed — the exact time depends on the type of permit and how complete the document package is.
Can I bring my family with me? +
Yes. Blue Card holders can apply for reunification straight away. On other grounds — usually after 1 year of residence in Slovenia, with proof of income and housing.
Do I need to pass a language exam to get a residence permit? +
The main applicant does not need Slovenian to obtain or extend a temporary residence permit. The requirement applies to reunified family members aged 18–60 when the status is extended.
Is residence registration mandatory? +
Yes, registration is mandatory — the official count of your time in the country, which is used when applying for permanent residence, starts from that date.
